[Last lines]
Well, sir, they can't say you didn't try. Now the future of the British monarchy lies fast asleep in your arms in the person of this infant prince. And with the money you've earned, you and he can escape to France.
Quite.
On the other hand, you can stay here, and as a known royalist, the Roundheads'll come and cut your head off.
Exactly, Baldrick.
[Banging on the door]
Oh my god!
Open up, or we'll burn the house down!
Oh no! We're surrounded! What'll we do?
At times like this, Baldrick, there is no choice for a man of honour. He must stand, fight and die in defense of his... future sovereign.
[More banging on the door]
Fortunately, I'm not a man of honour. [tosses the infant prince to Baldrick, then removes his hair, moustache and beard to reveal a clean-shaven face and a blond bowl head haircut just as Cromwell bursts in; to Cromwell] Thank God, you've come! [points at Baldrick] Seize the royalist scum!
[Baldrick shrugs in confusion]
